Frustratingly having had great bg averages for months, I seem to be drifting really high on the run up to annual review. Tch!

I really don't like 'em :P<br /><br />Yes I've always known that chocolate was not a perfect hypo remedy. Oddly since February I've used chocolate far less often too. Fine for a low level dip, but these days we always have Lucozade in for lower readings, and I Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868706401223371920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-4345208740869130012010-09-13T01:55:10.290+01:002010-09-13T01:55:10.290+01:00Hey, like you, I used to treat hypos with chocolat...Hey, like you, I used to treat hypos with chocolate but I have recently switched to glucose tabs - the problem with chocolate (and the same goes for milkshakes, believe me - i've tried it all over the 22 years I have been diabetic) is that it has fat in it.

Dear Mike et al.,
...Posted on behalf of: mattjones<br /><br />Dear Mike et al.,<br />I found the link to your blog via the Bristol Diabetes Support Group. I've also have Type 1 for around 20 years, and am getting dangerously close to 40. I (and my fairer half) agree that "having a good look at things" is timely.<br /><br />So I wanted to post a comment primarily as a yelp of support - not sure if you Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868706401223371920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-30180181263245950952010-04-19T16:51:55.158+01:002010-04-19T16:51:55.158+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292135069130676632noreply@blogger.com
